mlspto.org Highlights for the Week

MLS is registered as a Crayola "Eco Cool School": Crayola will pay shipping costs for the school to send in dried up/dead markers and tops of any brand! This is a great way to clean out desks, drawers, and backpacks at the end of the school year and keep all these plastic markers out of the landfills. Mrs. Atkinson has a collection box in the library, where students can drop off old markers now through the end of the year. For more information about the program, click here.

Spring Enrichment Zone Survey
Please take a few moments to offer feedback on your family's experience with Enrichment Zone classes this Spring. Your thoughts are helpful and appreciated as we begin to plan for next year. You can find the survey by clicking here. Thank you for your feedback!
  • Camp4Real: The popular Camp4Real, led by PE Teacher Scott Williams and his team, is open for signups for both online or paper registration! Early bird rates last through June 3. Click here for dates, locations, and camp info for this summer.
